The fanatec CSL is fanatec's budget seat. The CSL used to be known as the rinoseat GTR until fanatec struck up a partnership with rinoseat for the seat to be sold under the fanatec brand.
Packing
The packaging the box came in was nice and protected the frame well with all the parts being well rapped in plastic and the Foam seat cushion giving additional protection.
Assembly
The instructions for assembly were relatively basic with pictures showing you what to do. All of the parts are labelled mak...

This wheel is one of the official forza motorsport 4 wheels produced by fanatec in recent months. Here I will tell you my thoughts! The wheel is without doubt the best multi platform wheel on the market. Here I will tell you my thoughts!
Packaging
The wheel came in some extremely secure packaging. There was a lot of padding all around the wheel and base etc and when it got to me there was no scratches or dints as you would expect when paying so much for a wheel!
The wheel I am reviewing is the Fanatec CSR wheel as well as the CSR elite pedal set and the CSR shifter. The wheel is licensed by Turn 10 for their upcoming forza motorsport 4.
The Wheel The Fanatec CSR is a wheel that has a racey feel to it... Continue reading ...

After a few hours of gameplay I have decided to tell you all about my experience with this wheel so far.
The first game I played on with this wheel was GT5. I have chosen GT5 for this write up as it is the game I have spent the most time on as the Forza Motorsport 3 demo is relatively untouched. I used Darin Gangis wheel settings (for Forza 4) but they seemed pretty good with GT5. Here thay are:
SEN:900 FF:100 SHO:100 DRI: 3 ABS: 65 LIN:0 SPR:0
The track I decided to go for was Nurburgring GP/F as it... Continue reading ...

Wow today Thomas revealed the official BMW M3 GT2 rim for ClubSport Wheel and it certainly is a looker. The wheel has several buttons and also a rev indicator as well as an LCD display for adjusting wheel settings and so on. It also had an analog stick for looking around whilst racing, A dpad for navigation, which is 5 way (4 ways + press down).
This wheel may put some people in a predicament about what rim to buy.. Rest assured I am planning on reviewing both rims. :)

Thomas has confirmed that Fanatec will be making an F1 rim. The one you see here is the Formula Rim which has much less detail and functionality compared to what the F1 rim will have. Here is what Thomas said on GTP: Well, it looks more like a GP2 rim because it is just like that. The FORMULA rim is not our F1 rim. It is a generic Formula style rim. We will have a real F1 rim later with even more functionality. As soon as I know more I will update you all.
Also in the table is the whole Fanatec range of wheels and pedals.
We can finally confirm that the motors in the in the new clubsport wheel are Mabuchi 550 series like all other fanatec wheels. However their are two of them. An added bonus of the clubsport wheel is that the motors will not get weak when over heated as they will never get to that stage due to the monster fans installed.
As we all new the only wheel with quick release is the clubsport wheel. However one thing we di... Continue reading ...

Yes that is right the wheel is confirmed at $450 and Euros: 450. Seems pretty expensive to me. Their was also news each wheel rim will cost between 150-300. Which again is again rather expensive. Tomas also confirmed that ther is an option of adding static shifter pedals for rallying which is a great idea. The wheel itself looks great and the see through casing is a great touch. In my opinion they haven't perfected the wheels quick release system and the quick bit of gameplay on F1 2011 showed t... Continue reading ...
The Carrera Wheel from Fanatec is a great value for money option... the package includes a 6 speed shifter... a sequential shifter a pedal set including the clutch and of course the wheel. The package is great, the only thing that anyone can complain about is the pedals which arent great in terms of feel. They are nothing like the clubsports however this is expected when the whole package including the wheel comes at the same price as just the clubsport pedals. Value for money wise i would rec...
The GT3 RS is the best wheel out their in my opinion. The belt driven force feedback is smooth and contains zero lag. The wheel has a luxurious feel due to the alacantara leather and the porsche badge gives it a premium feel. If you don't have a budget this is the wheel for you.

Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo wheel was already a first step in Fanatec’s approach to gain market share in the Logitech-controlled field of racing wheels. The GT3 RS wheel and the Clubsport pedals are a diffe...
The turbo wheel is great it is not as good as the other fanatec wheels but for its time it was great. Now it is a bit outdated. If you´re one of those sim racers using both the PC and gaming consoles to race, you´ll probably know the problem – No steering wheel fits all.
This changes now as Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel is the first simulation-grade steering wheel to be compatible to both the PC, the Playstation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
The GT2 wheel an upmarket wheel from Fanatec. It is like most of the other fanatecs made out of Alcantara. It has the Fanatec belt driven FFB system. It does everything the GT3 RS does however this wheel is xbox compatible.
